Email hacking involves unauthorized access to email accounts, often through techniques like brute-force attacks—a method that systematically guesses passwords. Attackers may also employ phishing, keyloggers, or exploit weak security questions. Social media platforms are common targets for identity theft, account takeover, and spreading malware. Attackers gather information such as IP addresses, login credentials, and email addresses. With these tools, they conduct credential stuffing—using compromised data to access multiple accounts. Preventive measures include two-factor authentication (2FA), strong passwords, encryption, and regularly updating security settings.
